Corriedale x Merino x Wensleydale #140
$16.00 – $98.00
This is a very nice 3-way cross: Corriedale x Merino x Wensleydale. The result is a fairly open lock with fine crimp, a soft hand and 5-inch length. The color is brown and medium gray and this fleece does exhibit some luster. Overall an excellent spinners fleece.

Our Bliss Subscription club delivers four ounces of fleece each quarter that has been chosen specifically for its hand-spinning qualities. Our Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em Subscription club delivers four ounces of fleece from a breed on the Livestock Conservancy’s Conservation Priority List, and each installment includes a passport sticker for the SE2SE program. Our Prime Subscription includes early access to new fleece, but no quarterly fleece delivery.
Since we often purchase an entire clip at one time, not all fleece measure up to our lofty standards for Good Clean Fiber. Imperfect Fleece have one or more minor maladies and their pricing reflects that.

These fleece are pre-packaged and will ship within two business days of receiving your order. Smaller orders ship via USPS First Class or Priority, while larger shipments are sent via UPS.
We created Good Clean Fiber in 2019 to establish a link between small flock shepherds and fiber artists around the country. By washing the fleece and packaging it in small amounts, it is not only ready to process and easy to sample a wide variety of fibers, it is also more accessible. We select each fleece or inspect each flock by hand, ensuring minimal vegetable matter and reducing waste. We often establish a relationship with a fleece producer years before purchasing from them, providing feedback after each shearing to inform them of what hand spinners and felters are looking for. Good Clean Fiber is the widest selection and highest quality of fleece available to fiber artists.
